Wuyang gave Han Xing a natural look, she has the "eyeliner" of the queen in the palace, and now she is opening a mansion outside, and it is very convenient to send someone to check what news.

Sure enough, it's still out of the palace to open the house. Han Xing said silently.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness the fourth princess, the fourth girl of Duanmu," at this time, a chamberlain reminded in a low voice, "It's already more than half the hour...... "In another half an hour, the palace banquet will begin."

Only then did the three girls realize that there was no one around them, and only the plum blossoms were swaying in the wind.

They got up one after another, talked and laughed and returned to Fengluan Palace, and then rushed to the Taiji Hall with An Ping and others.

The Taiji Hall is the grandest palace in the palace, large enough to accommodate two or three hundred people to share a feast in it.

At this time, the emperor and queen have not yet arrived, and the hall is noisy, and those palace maids are busy, leading all the guests to their seats, and most of them are already in place.

Duanmufei has been following Anping, and the sitting times are also arranged by Anping's side.

Duanmu Fei saw Duanmu Xian at a glance, and after talking to An Ping, he went over to greet him with a smile: "Grandfather." ”

Duanmu Xian saw that his four granddaughters were also calm on such occasions, and he was quite proud, feeling that she really had her own style, and said casually: "Fourth girl, you didn't cause trouble to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, right?" ”

"Grandfather, I'm very well-behaved." Duanmu said with a straight face.

She saw an octagonal palace lamp behind Duanmu Xian, frowned, and beckoned to a chamberlain next to her, "Little father-in-law, please move this palace lamp away......

"Yes, Fourth Girl." Before Duanmu Fei's words fell, the chamberlain responded diligently and moved the palace lamp elsewhere.

Duanmuxian was a little stunned for a while, he didn't understand why his granddaughter cared about a palace lamp, and while he was puzzled, he always felt that something was wrong...... Where is it?

Forget it, the four girls in her family have always been smart, she always has her reasons for doing things, and this is not the place to speak, so Duanmu Xian just told seriously: "Four girls, you should follow Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." While speaking, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: The He family and the Xiao He family are unreliable, and there is no elder in this house, so there are always all kinds of inconveniences......

Duanmu Fei responded obediently, then turned around and went back to find Anping, the moment he turned around, his eyes glanced at Feng Yan not far away, Feng Yan immediately hooked his lips and smiled, smiling too brightly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, the people in the hall came and went, there were hundreds of people, most of them didn't pay attention to the two of them at all, and only Chu Qingyu took this scene into his eyes, and his expression was a little subtle.

Chu Qingyu's eyes flashed slightly, he clenched his fists, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the second prince Mu Youchang. She could feel that after the incident with Qianfeng Temple, the second prince was becoming more and more cold to her.

Mu Youchang smiled at Chu Qingyu, gentle and elegant, but the smile was not as good as the bottom of his eyes.

He picked up the teacup casually, and covered the slightly stiff corners of his mouth with the action of drinking tea.

He regretted it.

He was still too anxious, in order to please his father, he married Chu Qingyu, who would have thought that Geng Tinglian would be the Phoenix Daughter of Heavenly Destiny!

It is conceivable that whoever can marry Geng Tinglian in the future will have the best chance of becoming the crown prince, and she already has Chu Qingyu as the main concubine, with Geng Tinglian's identity as the concubine of the Weiguo Mansion, she will never be the prince's concubine.

Compared with the weight of the Heavenly Mandate Phoenix Girl and the Weiguo Mansion, the support he can get from the Xuanguo Mansion is too weak, and so far, the Xuanguo Duke has never let go of his marriage with Chu Qingyu......

Mu Youxian took a sip of hot tea in distraught, and in his thoughts, the guests in the hall were already seated.

When the hour came, the "Music of Taihe" was played in the hall, and everyone immediately fell silent and stood up solemnly.

The crowned emperor and the empress appeared from the west room, and the emperor was the first to sit on the high throne, followed by the empress.

The ministers and the women knelt down and saluted, shouting long live in unison, and the music stopped.

After that, the first assistant Duanmu Xian presented a congratulatory message to the emperor and queen, and the emperor laughed and replied: "The celebration of the new appointment is the same as the public." ”

Everyone bowed again, and then the palace played the "Music of Comfort", and the princes of each tribe paid tribute to the emperor one by one, and the tributes of each tribe were listed on the temple.

The princes and kings of those tribes are all subdued in the center of the hall, and a faction leads the land to the court and celebrates with the whole world.

The emperor looked down on them from his high throne, since these tribesmen came to Beijing, they had nothing to do and caused a lot of trouble, and the emperor was very kind of to them, but at this moment, seeing that they surrendered to him, his mood finally became a little brighter, and he laughed loudly, and gave them all wine and gold and silver banners.

After the dedication, the banquet began with another string music, and a well-trained maid entered the palace to serve wine and dishes to the emperor and other guests.

The monarch and the ministers toasted each other, dined, and the excitement was extraordinary, and the emperor gave wine and cypress leaves to his ministers from time to time.

The cypress leaves have the meaning of blessing longevity, and the princes and courtiers who have been rewarded by the emperor are inadvertent favors, such as Ashina, the patriarch of the Huaqui clan.

After Ashina thanked him, he sat down flattered, his eyebrows fluttering.

Geng Hai, who was sitting on his left hand, had a flash in his eyes, and raised his glass to Ashina casually and said, "Come, my father respects the prince with a glass." ”

Ashina also picked up the wine glass, and after toasting with Geng Hai, he groaned boldly, and the two faced each other with empty wine glasses, and then looked at each other and smiled.

This scene was supposed to be a normal greeting at this banquet, but it attracted the emperor's attention.

The emperor drank the wine casually, the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised, but there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, thinking of the excerpt on the joint name of the princes of those tribes.

Geng Hai didn't notice that the emperor was looking at him, talking to Ashina almost earnestly, and the two drank three glasses of wine in a row, the wine was hot, and it was quite a bit of a feeling that the wine was a thousand glasses less than a confidant.

"Is it the first time that the prince has met Lord Cen today?" Geng Hai seemed to be inadvertently authentic, "It's better to be recommended by my father, and the prince will also come to pay tribute to Lord Cen for a cup." ”

Cen Yin is now famous in the court, no one knows, Ashina is naturally like thunder, as soon as Geng Hai said it, he immediately echoed: "Then it will be bothering the grandfather of the country to introduce one or two." ”

Geng Hai's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he smiled proudly, leading Ashina to Cen Yin's seat, and said with a smile: "Lord Cen Governor, this is Prince Ashina of the Huaqui Clan, who has specially come to toast Lord Cyn." ”

When Ashina's gaze was on Cen Yin's beautiful face, a look of surprise or surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and toasted Cen Yin, with a very respectful attitude.

Geng Hai also took a drink, patted Ashina's shoulder affectionately, and said jokingly: "Lord Wang, my father has always heard that the Huaqu clan is a beauty, and the deceased Huoli County Lord is even more captivating to the country and the city, I don't know how the appearance of the Huoli County Lord is compared to the Cen Governor?" His eyes were full of wine, and his ears were red, as if he had forgotten his form for a while.

Ashina's heart moved, thinking about the meaning of Wei Guogong's words when he came to him before, his heartbeat pounded faster, and he said casually: "Lord Cen and my sister are somewhat ......similar," he looked Cen Yin up and down, "Especially the eyes and nose...... And the outline, it's almost like carved out of a mold. ”

Ashina desperately recalled the face that had long been blurred in her memory, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that Cen Yin seemed to be really a little like her sister Huoli County Lord.

Geng Hai and Cen Yina are both big celebrities in front of the emperor, and their every move will naturally attract the attention of many people, not to mention, Geng Hai can't wait to attract the attention of other people.

More and more eyes in the hall were cast on the three of them, with different expressions.

"Lord Wang, really?" Geng Hai showed an expression of surprise, and the drunkenness in his eyes was swept away, as if he had suddenly woken up from wine, and then he said to Ashina in surprise, "If the prince doesn't take a closer look, how can Lord Cen look like Sister Ling?!" ”

"Like, indeed." Ashina looked at Cen Yin's face and nodded frequently.

The two sang and partnered.

Most people still don't understand what's going on, but some old ministers remember that the Huoli County Lord of the Huaqui clan was the princess of Zhenbei back then, and Wei Guogong and Ashina meant that Cen Yin and Princess Zhenbei looked alike, this is to ......

These people were shocked and silent.

Xue Qiyuan, the king of Zhenbei, was a taboo in the emperor's heart, and someone secretly glanced at the emperor and found that the emperor's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and this solemn atmosphere continued to spread as if it were contagious.

Duanmu Fei was completely unaffected, and ate the dishes silently with chopsticks.

Well, this braised button meat is too oily, and the crucian carp soup is a little cold, so it tastes greasy...... She sighed in her heart, and suddenly found a pair of chopsticks sandwiching a piece of cream and loose cake from the bowl she gave her from the left, and subconsciously turned her head to An Ping and smiled.

An Ping winked at her, meaning that this cream pine roll was just as delicious when it was cold.

Feng Yan couldn't sit still, and quietly got up and walked towards An Ping and Duanmu Fei, his eyes casually glancing in the direction of Geng Hai and Cen Yin.

Cen Yin, who was wearing a red unicorn robe, sat calmly behind the food table, smiling without saying a word, looking at Geng Hai and Ashina's gaze calmly as if he was looking at two jumping clowns.

"Lord Cen ......" Geng Hai wanted to say something more, but he heard a "snap" sound from above, and the emperor threw the chopsticks in his hand on the case in displeasure.

"Geng Hai, don't look for trouble!" The emperor reprimanded unceremoniously, the corners of his forehead were beating wildly, and he said in his heart: This Geng Hai has always loved to find trouble with Ah Yin...... This time it's really too much, is it trying to set up a blame?!

The emperor's right hand was clenched into a fist on the desk, his eyes darkened slightly, and his thoughts raced.

If there is no Ah Yin in this court, no one will be able to control Geng Hai in the future!

The emperor couldn't help but think of the list of gifts sent to the Weiguo Mansion these days and the excerpts on the joint names of those tribes, raising tigers is a problem, and Geng Hai's power in the court is about to get out of his control unconsciously......

"Geng Hai, drinking is wrong, since you don't drink well, drink a few less!" The Emperor's voice grew louder and louder, and he made no secret of the displeasure in his words.

Geng Hai couldn't believe his ears, and his face turned pale.

Who doesn't know that King Zhenbei and Emperor Chongming have always been the emperor's heart disease, why did the emperor react like this this time......

Others didn't expect the emperor to reprimand Geng Hailai in the hall, the atmosphere around him became more and more weird, and many people secretly exchanged glances, it seems that this time is different from the past, Cen Yin's limelight is unmatched, and this Wei Guogong is also inferior!

At this time, Cen Yin elegantly stood up from behind the eating table, glanced at the two of them, and swept his understatement across Geng Hai's face.

Geng Hai's face stiffened even more, this Cen Yin clearly didn't take him seriously!

Before he had a chance to speak, Cen Yin had already picked up the wine glass on the dining table, raised the wine glass to the emperor on the throne, and said with a smile: "At the beginning of the new year, I salute the emperor with a glass, and wish the emperor a healthy body, and I will be prosperous and prosperous!" ”

Cen Yin raised his glass and drank it all.

The emperor naturally liked to listen to these words, and there was a smile on his face again, and the original tense atmosphere eased a little, and the ministers moved their hearts and followed suit, toasting the emperor, and the palace was happy.

Most of these ministers are shrewd people, although this Heavenly Destiny Phoenix Girl is spread to be divine, but after all, it is difficult to say, now the emperor's attitude has been made clear, compared to Wei Guogong, the emperor believes in Cen Yin more.

Thinking about it, many people looked at Cen Yin's expressions more and more solemnly, and there was a touch of awe in the solemnity.

At this point, Geng Hai couldn't continue the topic, so he sat back indignantly, and secretly gritted his teeth in his heart: Of course he won't stop there!

If you don't get rid of Cen Yin, he won't be able to sleep well!

He will come up with more definite "evidence...... When the time comes, he doesn't believe that the emperor will defend Cen Yin.

There was a commotion in the Tai Chi Hall.

Feng Yan diligently poured tea and wine for Anping and Duanmu Fei, but it was the milk wine he secretly brought into the palace, and he looked at Duanmu Fei with a look of appreciation.

At the palace banquet, there were too many people, and nine times out of ten, the hot dishes that came up also became cold, and the food was not a dish at all, but the so-called "glory".

It's better to eat some snacks, which is just right with this Pu country's milk wine.

Feng Yan sent a plate of dim sum to An Ping and Duanmu Fei, smiling earnestly and cutely, wagging his tail frantically behind him.

An Ping couldn't help but hook her lips with a smile, and reached out to grab the glass of milk wine that her son had just poured, but her fingers only touched the cup and paused.

She hadn't lifted the glass of milk wine yet, but there were some ripples in the glass......

Immediately afterwards, the wine glasses, dishes, chopsticks, etc. on the table shook slightly, making a "cluck" sound.

"Food...... The food table seems to be shaking ......" I don't know who screamed in confusion.

"Chair...... The chairs are also dangling......"

"No, it's the ground, it's the ground shaking......"

In a few words, the shaking of the ground became more and more obvious, and the palace maid who served on the side had a disgraced face and fell to her knees, and someone exclaimed: "The ground ...... The earth dragon has turned over! ”

"The earth dragon has turned over! Run! ”

“……”

The hall exploded in an instant, and everyone changed their faces and panicked, some knelt on the ground, some jumped up, some sat there and couldn't move, and some snuggled up to the people beside them in fear.

Feng Yanyan quickly grabbed An Ping's shoulder with one hand, and Duanmu Scarlet waist with the other, and took the two of them up from the chair and protected them in his arms.

Duanmufei, who was squatting on the ground, was calm, she bowed her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth hidden in Feng Yan's arms curved slightly.

"Feng Gongzi," she lowered her voice and whispered into Feng Yan's ear, "This place doesn't move much, at most, it will break a few wine glasses......

The ground of the Taiji Hall shook one after another, like a flat boat swaying on the undulating sea, as if something was about to break the ground under the ground......

The panicked cries of men and women came one after another, and the voices were terrible.

And the tables and chairs swayed and moved on the smooth marble floor, and the melons and fruits fell from the fruit pots and rolled to the ground, making the scene even more chaotic.

"Bang Bang!"

One by one, the dishes fell to the ground, shattering in pieces, and the soup and dishes were also spilled on the ground.

Duanmu squatted on the ground motionlessly, silently counting in her heart, she wanted to tell Feng Yandi that the movement was about to end, but when she looked up, she happened to see Feng Yan looking in the direction of Cen Yin, and the two looked at each other in mid-air for a moment, exchanging glances.

Then, Cen Yin quickly ran to the emperor on the throne, shouting in his mouth: "Escort, escort!" ”

At this moment, a rosewood carved dragon seat screen beside the emperor suddenly fell in the direction of the emperor......

"Your Majesty!"

Several chamberlains and brocade guards exclaimed in surprise with pale faces, and surrounded the emperor's direction, only to see a red shadow flashing, and Cen Yin blocked the toppled screen with his back.

The emperor watched the heavy screen hit Cen Yin's back, his eyes showed a look of emotion, and he said in his heart: This Manchu Dynasty civil and military knows that he is afraid, only Ah Yin is worried about himself! Ah Yin is really a loyal minister, and he puts himself first in everything!

The brocade guards hurriedly straightened the toppled screen, terrified.

Duanmu Fei silently withdrew her gaze, the scene was chaotic just now, others may not have noticed, but she squatted on the ground and looked at it at this angle, just in time to see Cen Yin quietly stretched out his foot and hooked on the screen, and then the screen fell down...... No, she didn't see anything.

Duanmu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the tassels on the tips of his shoes, and suddenly realized that the ground seemed to move......

"The earth has stopped!" A gruff male voice was the first to call out.

Immediately afterwards, the others also chimed in, and their voices were surprised, apprehensive, doubtful, and uneasy......

"What do they look like!" Cen Yin scolded several chamberlains and brocade guards beside the emperor, his soft voice revealing a touch of coldness, "Don't dare to hurry up and help all the adults up, those who are here today are all important ministers of the country, don't get hurt." ”

Although Cen Yin was scolding the chamberlain and the brocade guard, he heard that in the ears of the princes and nobles and the ministers of civil and military affairs present, he was scolding them for coaxing!

Most people still looked at Cen Yin's face, and they were silent for a moment, kneeling, squatting, standing, and leaning on all sat upright, but their faces were panicked and uneasy.

Only the princes and princes of those tribes were still in a hurry, and the chamberlains and brocade guards hurried down to silence them.

After a while, the entire Taiji Hall became silent, and the air was very oppressive and solemn.

"Where is Qin Tianjian?" Cen Yin said lightly, his voice was neither light nor heavy, but it spread throughout the entire hall.

These five words made everyone, including the emperor, wake up, yes, it is time to ask Qin Tianjian.

The king eunuch of Qin Tianjian stood up from a seat tremblingly, his legs trembling, and cold sweat trickling down from the corners of his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Jian Zheng bowed his head and responded: "The lower official is here." The three words almost used up all his strength.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Jianzheng.

Cen Yin asked in a cold voice: "Wang Jian Zheng, there is an earth dragon turning over today, why didn't you Qin Tianjian see it?" ”

Wang Jian Zheng knelt directly on the ground, ignoring the mess in one place, and threw his head on the ground in fear, and apologized: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" It's a dereliction of duty! ”

The Emperor's right hand gripped the dragon's head on the armrest of the throne tightly, almost crushing it.

Cen Yin asked again: "Wang Jianzheng, will there be any more ground movements?" ”

"......" Wang Jian is maintaining a kneeling posture on the ground, and he doesn't dare to move, they haven't even seen that there will be a earth dragon turning over today, how can he know if there will be any more ground movement!

Eunuch Wang swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to answer at all.

Duanmu Fei quietly pulled Feng Yan's sleeve under the case, Feng Yan looked at her, and she said silently with her mouth: "There will be a wave of similar ground movements in half an hour." ”

The corners of Feng Yan's lips hooked, and he looked in Cen Yin's direction quietly, bowing slightly.

A streamer flashed through Cen Yin's narrow eyes, and then he turned his head to look at the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is afraid that there will be any more ground movements, and the minister thinks it is safe to do so, so he should go outside to avoid ......."

The emperor was so frightened that his heart was still pounding, and the emperor didn't even have the energy to blame Qin Tianjian, so he immediately bowed his head and said, "Ah Yin, what you said is very true. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone also got up, although they couldn't wait to leave the hall, but they were still sensible, standing still in place, waiting for the emperor and the empress to get off the throne, followed by the cabinet ministers closest to the emperor, the princes of the clan surrounded the emperor and queen, and the other officials also followed one by one according to their ranks......

Without a single cup of tea, the people in this hall all came out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Outside, the sun was gone, the sky was overcast, and the cold wind was howling, blowing on people's faces like a knife.

The biting cold wind penetrated from the neckline into his neck, and the emperor shook his head and turned to look at the Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold." The queen said thoughtfully, her voice trembling slightly, and her graceful and noble face was still slightly pale.

The empress made a gesture, and a small chamberlain hurriedly draped the emperor in a thick coat.

The emperor gathered his head, a little sober and calm, and his thoughts also turned quickly, thinking of the black ants in Qianfeng Temple and Qianya Garden, thinking of the snow disaster in several states, and thinking of the war in the south that has not yet been settled...... Now it's the Earth Dragon turning over again.

The turning over of the earth dragon has been a bad omen since ancient times, this is the heavens are not satisfied with him, it must be like this! Otherwise, there would not be such frequent disasters.

The Emperor raised his eyes to look at the gloomy sky above, the layers of clouds that filled the sky were so dark and gloomy that it seemed that the heavens were declaring its wrath, and the Emperor's heart became heavier and heavier, and he was almost out of breath.

The emperor was really scared......

"......

And another gust of wind blew, and all the garments of the people were bulging and fluttering in the wind.

The courtyard outside this hall was flat and empty, there was neither a charcoal basin nor a shield, and everyone hurriedly withdrew from the Taiji Palace, without putting on cloaks, and they were all shivering from the cold.

Many people looked at each other and wanted to tell the palace people to enter the palace to get the cloak, but at this moment, the palace people were sincerely surrounding the emperor and queen, and those guests did not dare to shout loudly, nor did they dare to go back to the palace to get the cloak, so they could only stand in place with trepidation, panicked.

Duanmu Fei has always been most afraid of the cold, shrunk up, clinging to Anping's arm, thinking: I knew that she should have brought the little fox in as a hand warmer......

Suddenly, Duanmu Fei felt a sinking on her shoulders, and found that she and An Ping had an extra thick cloak on their bodies.

Duanmu blinked, still a little confused.

Anping looked at Duanmu Fei's stupid appearance and felt very cute, she raised her arm and hugged Duanmu Fei's left shoulder affectionately, and the two were squeezed into the same cloak.

Hmm, it's warm. Duanmu Fei pasted it again towards Anping's body in a kind way.

Feng Yan looked at them with burning eyes, his phoenix eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: When can he wear the same cloak as Zhen Zhen like this?!

Thinking about it, the roots of Feng Yan's ears burned up, getting hotter and hotter.
